Hi, I’ve been experiencing an issue related to this. When pushing verse changes (or full push), sometimes it’ll get stuck on “updating” and not change, when exiting session and trying to start a new one I get the error mentioned in this ticket “project already uploading”. The only solution is for me to restart UEFN and Fortnite, it’s started happening very frequently and isn’t very possible to work with at the moment.

Edit: Can make a new bug report if required, seems like the same issue of the project getting stuck uploading in the back end.
